WASP Blog

Web analytics is becoming more and more complex as online business strategies mature. As a result, analytics page tags need to include more data and thus it is important to ensure that this information is being captured accurately. This is not isolated to web analytics, but also any other online solution that relies on JavaScript tags. With all of the solutions available that are being implemented and numerous business people wanting a piece of the resulting online behavioral information, it is imperative that the information be correct and timely.

Given all of these factors, it is vital that the requisite tags are present and accurate to ensure that the resulting analysis best reflects every web page.

It quickly became clear to IBM (Unica) that a product was needed to quickly and accurately gauge what tags are running on any given web page and exactly what data is being reported to not only analytic vendors but also advertisement networks and other online marketing solutions. The typical technical knowledge required to diagnose tagging issues is usually beyond the needed knowledge of a marketer and therefore it is what prompted IBM (Unica) to bring WASP to its clients.

An IBM-Flavored WASP

Extending the value of WASP by working closely with IBM (Unica) to build out additional features and functions created a unique benefit to Unica NetInsight customers. As an example, when a WASP client visits a page that is running NetInsight page tags, the Unica branding appears on the WASP interface and offers product specific variable identification. WASP clients also receive in-application notifications, based on IBM (Unica)-defined rules, if the NetInsight tags are not formatted or executing properly. There are also detailed descriptions and categorizations of NetInsight variables to avoid dealing with variable names that may not be clear at first view.

IBM is offering customers a special WASP license for FREE to take advantage of all of these valuable capabilities. To sign up for the special WASP license unique to IBM go to: http://webanalyticssolutionprofiler.com/unica.html
